Bradley: In-demand
American starlet Michael Bradley favours a move to Germany - his agent has confirmed to skysports.com.
The Heerenveen midfielder has been strongly linked with a switch to the Premier League with Manchester United, Everton, Blackburn, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Sunderland amongst those to have scouted him in recent months.
Scottish giants Celtic are also said to be keeping close tabs on him - whilst German outfits Werder Bremen and Stuttgart are keen.
And although he would not rule out a move to England - his agent Kon Schramm confirmed a switch to the Bundesliga looked the most likely option.
"He will probably make the move to Germany," Schramm told skysports.com.
"He likes the clubs, the league and he knows it better. I think he will feel good in Germany."
The most serious interest from England appears to be emerging from Merseyside with David Moyes attending a match recently to make a check on Bradley - who has scored an impressive 15 goals from central midfield.
But Schramm insisted he has not heard from The Toffees.
"There is no contact with an English club at this moment, a move to England is possible but we will see," he continued.
"We hope something on his future will develop in the next month or so.
"He has one-year left on his current contract and a transfer is not something Heerenveen have really talked about."
